Things to Work on:
*As we are nearing conferences in March we have started assessing for third quarter.  Please review time to the hour and half hour.
What we have been up to:
Reading: This week our theme was about favorite stories.  Our spelling feature for the week is long /e/ sounds that are made by the letter y.  
Math: We have been learning about parallelogram, trapezoid, and hexagon.  Students drew these shapes and then practiced identifying them.   We have spent time this week working in on our BUILD activities.  Students are really getting the hang of Scootpad and the math games.
Science/ Social Studies:This week we finished our unit on past and present.  We learned about a timeline and compared transportation from the past to the present.  Students then sorted pictures into two categories: past or present.
